CB-20 (Igh b) but not BALB/c (Igh b) mice are able to reject BCL 1, a spontaneous B cell leukemia of BALB/c origin. The protective immune response is directed to ward the minor histocompatibility (H) antigen, H-40, which can be detected by cytotoxic T lymphocytes and is expressed on surface (s) immunoglobulin positive tumor cells including BCL 1 as well as sIg+ lymphoblasts activated by lipopolysaccharide. The fact that only sIg+ tumor cells and lymphoblasts express H-40 suggests that sIg itself may be a component involved in CTL recognition of this antigen. However, this possibility was ruled out by demonstrating that removal of sIg from target cells did not prevent H-40-specific CTL recognition. To determine whether H-40 expression was coordinately regulated with that of membrane Ig, we determined whether H-40− sIg− cells acquire H-40 when induced to express sIg. We also transfected a functional c and v region gene into a sIg− lymphoma so that it acquired a slg+ phenotype. In neither case did such slg+ cells acquire H-40. Together, these data indicate that H-40 is expressed on B cells representing a particular stage of differentiation that is coincidental with slg.
